“…Findings on the relevance of these factors for ATS are mixed. In Finland, children were found to be less likely to cycle to school when there were higher numbers of major roads on the school route,39 while a Canadian study found that with increases in traffic and pedestrian safety (ie, greater lengths of sidewalks, lower traffic volume and more traffic calming measures) children’s daily minutes of ATS increased 26. A Californian study reported that children were more likely to walk to school where sidewalks were present,18 while other USA and Canadian-based research showed no such relationship 19 23 25.…”

“…Various studies have modelled ‘walkable’ neighbourhood design or ‘walkability’ and examined how built environment features of the neighbourhoods around schools influence ATS, however, few UK-based studies exist 16. Most studies conducted to date tend to be based in the USA,17–21 Canada,22–26 Australia,27–30 New Zealand31–35 and Spain 36–38…”

“…Adolescents have the lowest rate of active travel (walking/cycling for transport) of any age group regardless of total household income and ethnicity [9,10], so active travel represents a strategic opportunity to increase physical activity in this group. Walkable environments, as measured by indices that include dwelling density, connectivity and land use mix for example, are positively associated with walking and active travel in a range of populations [11,12], including adolescents [13], so they represent a potential focus for intervention. It is important, therefore, to understand the extent to which the built environment around homes and schools support walking and cycling among adults and children [13][14][15][16].…”

It is important, therefore, to understand the extent to which the built environment around homes and schools support walking and cycling among adults and children [13][14][15][16]. The journey to school for school-going adolescents (12-18 years of age) is identified as a key opportunity to increase their physical activity [14].…”
